As part of the 2016 World Book Day celebrations, students at Churchtown Primary School in Southport have been set an Extreme Reading Challenge by their teachers to take pictures of themselves with their favourite books in unusual locations.

They’ve responded in style, with some great pictures.

Today’s tallest story was sent in by Jonathon in Year 6, who had his picture taken at the Manchester Giants versus Plymouth Raiders bastetball match!

Others have been enjoying their stories at the carousel on Southport Promenade; up a tree in the Botanic Gardens in Churchtown; at Silcock’s Hall of Mirrors by Southport Pier; alongside a fairytale princess.

On Tuesday, pupils at Churchtown were invited to bring in their favourite book to talk about with a friend.

On Wednesday they enjoyed a special book-themed menu, with dishes including Lady and the Tramp meatballs and spaghetti, The Hungry Caterpillar deli bar and Harry Potter chocolate frogs.

Today (World Book Day) they have been enjoying pyjama day.

They are finishing the week this Friday by designing new World Book Day tokens for a competition.

DO you have any Extreme Reading pictures? Or have your children been enjoying World Book Day at any schools in Southport, Formby or West Lancashire?
